Tendring Colchester Borders Garden Community Development Plan Document (DPD)

The council needs to face facts and accept that people prefer their own vehicles, and a majority WILL NOT CYCLE, or WALK, or catch a bus.
There are far better things money could be spent on rather that waste it on cycle lanes and a rapid transport system that will see more Tumbleweed than cyclists or passengers.
Build a better road system that can cope with the additional traffic, rather than continue to be anti car!

The transport system is all pie in the sky, and a complete waste of money. As the new development is out of town most residents will use their own cars.
People do not and will not rely of public bus services as they are far to expensive, unreliable and also people like the comfort of their own vehicles.
Killing wild life and their habitat to build a "rapid transport system" is a disgrace, and i for one don't wish to fund a bus service that will carry about 5 people per bus.

The plan should be thrown in the bin, as all CCC continue to do is concrete over our beautiful countryside . Killing trees and wildlife alike.
There is a time to stop and preserve what we have and that time is now.

Why are we continuing to build houses that are clearly not for residents of the local area? All these house are for are the continuous London overspill, that move here and make the area worse. With them comes all of the issue from the capital, like crime and drugs etc.

The development is ridiculous and will kill our countryside, and it needs to be stopped.
THERE ARE NO NET BIODIVERSITY GAINS! the only way that biodiversity can continue is by not bulldozing the area and covering it in concrete.
Stop the development now.

How can the council say " Net Gains in biodiversity and a thriving ecological network will shape the Garden Community ensuring native species thrive". when it is concreting over acres of green belt land?
This land should be protected and allowed to thrive naturally as it is now.

I think somebody needs to go and lie down in a dark room, as clearly they have had to much sun, and its sent them slightly insane.

Roads and street by definition are for vehicles and this notion needs to be maintained, the plan needs to change to reflect this. If you encourage people especially younger children you will be putting them at risk.

Roads = Vehicles
Parks and playgrounds = People

Whoever proposed this development is living in cloud cuckoo land. By definition a road is a place for vehicles it is not a playground. If the council continue with such ridiculous ideas i hope that they are prepared for all of the accidents which will follow.
Roads and streets are for vehicles, parks and playgrounds are for playing, you cannot mix the 2 as you are inviting problems.
You cannot dress up a rapid transport system, It is a bus.
The council can't vet all of the new residents to ensure they don't have cars!

The development is unsustainable and the number of people and houses will be an even bigger burden on our health facilities.
The development needs to be abandoned, as no developer is going to have the funds require to facilitate the wealth fare system required.

The NHS and in particular Colchester general hospital is already at breaking point and the envisaged demands placed on it by the influx of another 18 thousand plus people is unstainable.
Unless the development is going to have its own hospital current services will only be made worse.
